Mrs. Akiir Mayardit has deployed her concubines JEM rebels, Nuba and Blue Nilers at the border. How are you going to demarcate it before chasing out the Sudanese rebels. You better deal with the rebels who will control every piece of land in the coming weeks.

Midiit,we were controlling 60% of the boarder before your conflict,who among you and arabs could chase us away from the boarder,we are inside North, have no business with South,you are ever telling us rebels, who are you?you are rebels and we are rebels,you need to take care of not crossing the red line,

These so call AU leaders are just wast of times and resources. How comes they talk of demarcating the borders between South and North, when they can’t even bring peace between the rebels and the governments in both Sudan? Useless organization who is there for nothing.

AU IS A FAILURE ORGANIZATION,IT IS POWERLESS AND HOPELESS.NOW ,HOW MANY MEETINGS WERE CONDUCT BY AU SINCE AND NOTHING GOOD COME OUT OF IT?FOR WHAT? WHAT I DO KNOW FROM THIS LEADERS TO PATTING EACH OTHER SHOULDER AND PLAN HOW TO GET TAX PAYERS FROM POOR CITIZEN.
